Chapter 139 Three "Good Guy" Cards in One Day
When Qin Qionghua suggested taking Qin Su to visit Murong Jing, Qin Rusong's first reaction was to refuse:

"Nonsense! What kind of woman goes to visit a man outside the marriage?"

His reaction, however, relieved Qin Qionghua of the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart:

As expected, even the heir of the Duke of Jin doesn't "look at" her. It seems that Father really wants to send Qin Sangsang into the palace.

A flash of jealousy crossed the girl's eyes, her nails dug deep into her palms, but her face remained perfectly calm.

"The relationship between Sangsang and the prince is no secret; anyone who wants to can find out. Rumors about her are rampant these days. Instead of pretending not to know, we should take the initiative to break the deadlock and tell everyone openly that the two of them are siblings."

Qin Rusong was slightly taken aback, looked at his second daughter, and gestured for her to continue.

Qin Qionghua suppressed her emotions: "The Duchess is a distant relative of my mother, and can be considered half an aunt to me. If I take my third sister to visit her, no one can say anything."

Qin Rusong seemed convinced and nodded slightly: "Anything else?"

"Furthermore," Qin Qionghua paused, her tone becoming more sarcastic, "if entering the palace is true, then my sister should also go and broaden her horizons. Father doesn't think other noble ladies are pushovers, does he?"

These words were a bit much, but Qin Rusong wasn't angry. He looked at the girl in front of him and asked, "Qiong'er, are you blaming your father?"

Qin Qionghua paused for a moment: "Daughter wouldn't dare. Daughter knows that Father is doing this for the sake of the entire family."

Qin Rusong nodded and patted her shoulder: "It's good that you know. You must remember that it is the family that raised you. No matter who is in the spotlight today, the family will always give their full support."

Qin Qionghua remained silent, her beautiful face revealing no emotion.

Would anyone support this?
Father, you said it yourself.

Thanks to Qin Qionghua's intervention, Qin Su was finally able to leave the house.

The system exclaimed again: "[So, female supporting characters can be used like this? Host, why don't you open a class? I guarantee people will learn.]"

Qin Su: "Not interested."

The system's muttered message: "You seem to have no other interests besides healing patients...?"
-
Even after Qin Su was helped out by a maid and got into the carriage looking sickly, Qin Qionghua's suspicions did not dissipate.

She couldn't understand why Qin Sangsang still chose Murong Jing when the Crown Prince had already extended an olive branch. Didn't she know which one was better?

Some even darkly speculated that she did this to dispel her suspicions, lower her guard, and then...

"Thank you for helping me, Second Sister."

The girl's gentle and grateful words interrupted Qin Qionghua's reverie.

Seeing that Qin Su's eagerness seemed genuine, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If it's true, that's great; if it's fake... she has ways to make it true!

“Sister, there’s no need to be so polite. We are sisters, and we should support each other. Besides, I am also concerned about the young master, so it won’t hurt to go and see him.”

Qin Su nodded: "Second sister, you are such a kind person."

The master had already boarded the carriage, which slowly headed towards the Duke's mansion.

The two sisters chatted and laughed occasionally on the bus, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Qin Su had already learned from the system that the female supporting character had considered having someone kidnap her on the road to get rid of this "menace," but for some reason, she had temporarily given up on the idea.

Qin Su smiled faintly, appearing very quiet and obedient, but what she was thinking in her heart was:
If she actually does it, she should thank her.

pity……
-
When the carriage stopped, the driver announced from outside that they had arrived, and Qin Qionghua had already decided what to do.

Qin Sangsang is no longer an unknown person. She has attracted the attention of the Crown Prince. If she were to be lost now and arouse the Crown Prince's suspicion, all her efforts would be in vain... She would never allow anyone to ruin her image in His Highness's heart!
Besides, what could be better than her being caught cheating?
The car stopped, but Qin Su did not get up immediately.

She tugged at Qin Qionghua's sleeve, pleading, "Second sister, I have something very important to tell Brother Murong, could you... could you..."

The girl didn't finish her sentence, but her eyes were filled with guilt.

Qin Qionghua narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "Can I do what? Third sister, just say what you want to say, and I will definitely help if I can."

The girl's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this: "I...I want to speak with Brother Murong alone for a couple of minutes, but..."

Qin Qionghua guessed that she was worried about the clingy little girl outside, and her smile deepened slightly: "Third sister, don't worry, your older sister will definitely help you."

Qin Su smiled and said, "Second sister, thank you. You're so kind."
-
Just as Qin Su had expected, when they arrived at the Duke's mansion and the two sisters were led to the Prince's courtyard, the maid named Chunfeng did not hesitate to go in with them.

Qin Qionghua's expression darkened slightly: "Stop!"

Chunfeng didn't react and continued to follow Qin Su until she was stopped by a maid: "What is Miss doing? This servant is ordered by Master to take care of Miss Sangsang and stay by her side at all times."

This was an attempt to threaten Qin Qionghua using Qin Rusong's name, but she wasn't buying it: "Father only asked you to take care of my third sister, not to treat her like a prisoner. You stay here, and my sister and I will go in."

Spring Breeze naturally refused: "No, I..."

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her follow."

Qin Qionghua wouldn't waste words with a maid; once the young lady spoke, Chunfeng was naturally stopped.

If she didn't want to reveal her identity, she had no choice but to stay.

For some reason, seeing Qin Su without turning her head, Chunfeng felt a strange sense of worry.

Surely she couldn't have really lost Miss Sangsang?
What Chunfeng didn't know was that the two sisters she thought would be going the same way parted ways as soon as they left her sight.

Qin Su went to Murong Jing's courtyard, while Qin Qionghua went to visit the Duchess instead.

"Brother Murong, what's wrong with you?"

Murong Jing lay on the bed, his pale face and tightly bandaged limbs making him look quite pitiful.

If the original owner of this body were here, he would feel sorry for him seeing him in this terrible state.

Qin Su felt sorry for him too: "Wasn't everything fine before? How did it turn out like this?"

Murong Jing, seeing the girl's sad and distressed expression, was about to comfort her by saying he was alright, but he almost choked on her next sentence:
"With these one mishap after another, Brother Murong, have you perhaps offended something unclean?"

Murong Jing was taken aback: "Sang Sang, what are you talking about?"

Qin Su said sincerely, "Brother Murong, I'm serious, this is really abnormal of you. Why don't you go to the temple to pray?"

In the original novel, Qin Sangsang ate a lot of disgusting things like incense ash because she couldn't have children.

Qin Su felt that even scumbags should try this kind of "good stuff".

It took Murong Jing half a day to confirm that Sang Sang was serious, and he was a little unsure how to put it.

He is not superstitious, so he doesn't believe that praying to gods and Buddhas is effective.

But Sangsang wasn't well-educated, so it was normal for her to believe in these things. He didn't know what to say, so he could only change the subject: "How did you get out? I thought..."

"My second sister helped me."

Qin Su smiled, her eyes seemingly sparkling: "Brother Murong, Second Sister is such a good person. She helped me without hesitation when she learned I wanted to see you." Murong Jing, however, did not smile. He realized he seemed to have guessed why Sister Qiong had intervened.

Was she helping Sangsang? She clearly...

After casually stirring up trouble between the male lead and the female supporting character, Qin Su finally got to the point: "Brother Murong, Father's men are keeping a close eye on us. If we don't hurry, I'm afraid I won't make it in time..."

Upon hearing the girl's words, Murong Jing's mood, which had just improved, plummeted again.

"Have you really come to see me today?"

When the words left my mouth, I was stunned for a moment.

The name sounds familiar; it's like someone asked him that before.

"Brother Murong, did you really come to see me?"

The man's expression was off; he seemed to be thinking of something, as if he were both sad and guilty.

Qin Su didn't give him much time to ponder, and said, "Don't you know what I'm here for, Brother Murong?"

By retreating in order to advance, and throwing the words back at him, he has no way to complain.

"I know, I just..."

Looking at the girl's obedient face, Murong Jing suddenly hardened his heart: "I want to say, if you're not in a hurry, wait for me. Once I'm healed, I'll take you..."

But he was interrupted before he could finish his nonsense: "So, is Brother Murong going to break his promise again?"

The girl's beautiful eyes were filled with disappointment as she looked at him and said, "Okay, it's okay, I'm used to it..."

With that, Qin Su got up to leave.

Murong Jing panicked: "Wait! I was just kidding! He's already waiting for you outside, you'll see him as soon as you go out..."

Only after he spoke did Murong Jing realize how painful it was.

So, was this how she felt when she said those things in the dream?
Qin Su didn't know what Sang Sang was thinking in her dream, but she was quite happy: "Brother Murong, you are a good person, thank you."

After saying this, she followed the servants to change her clothes without hesitation.

My current outfit is too eye-catching; I definitely need to change it before going out.

Before long, Qin Su changed her clothes and transformed into an ordinary little girl.

System: [He looks like he's about to break.]

Judging from the original novel, the male lead essentially cuckolded himself, so it seems quite normal for him to suffer a little heartbreak?
In the back alley of the Duke's mansion, there was a discreet, unmarked carriage.

As the back door opened and a slender figure stepped out, the carriage curtain was lifted: "Sang Sang!"

Qin Su's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Brother Xie!"

“Sangsang, you…”

The girl's attire startled Xie Cisheng.

Qin Su gave a helpless look: "They're following us too closely; we can't get out otherwise..."

Xie Cisheng frowned even more deeply and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened?"

He wanted to ask, he'd heard rumors about the Crown Prince's feelings for her... but he couldn't bring himself to ask. Instead, he changed his words and said:
“I was very surprised when the Crown Prince sent the message.”

Qin Su nodded and said gently, "Brother Murong is a good person," then paused, "Brother Xie, you are too."

System: [Ding~ The third "good guy" card has been successfully sent!]

Xie Cisheng wanted to say something, but seeing the girl's anxious look, he swallowed his words and told the coachman that they could leave.
-
"...According to the investigation, Song usually doesn't like to go out and has a distant relationship with her neighbors, but she goes to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth of every month, rain or shine. The day you chose today is perfect, it's the day she goes out to buy incense."

Hearing the words of thanks, Qin Su's eyes lit up: "Really? That's wonderful!"

The girl's joy was too obvious, and Xie Cisheng finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him: "Song Shi had experience in the palace... Sangsang, why did you investigate her?"

Qin Su was taken aback, somewhat surprised but not too surprised. Since he had asked the male supporting character for help, it was normal for him to know these things.

The smile on the girl's face visibly disappeared; she lowered her head and remained silent.

Xie Cisheng's heart tightened: "Is...is it related to Ling Xiao?"

Qin Su looked up in surprise: "Brother Xie, you..."

"It really was him." A flash of anger crossed Xie Cisheng's eyes.

The girl lowered her head again: "It is related to him, but I can't tell you the specific reason for now."

The girl's pitiful appearance softened his heart, and the man finally relented: "Go ahead."
-
"As long as it's something Sangsang wants to do, Brother Xie will always help you."

Even Qin Su was momentarily moved by the man's words.

"So with such a devoted second male lead as a contrast, why can those scumbags who readily rip out hearts and eyes still rise to the top?"

System: [Maybe... that was just the right taste at that time? This kind of character setup has more tension?]

Qin Su: "Heh."
-
Ms. Song was dressed in a low-key brown coat. She was no more than thirty years old, but there were already deep wrinkles between her brows, and it was clear that she often frowned and sighed.

Qin Su was standing behind when someone accidentally bumped into her. She immediately looked up, her eyes wary and gloomy, which startled the person.

The man hurriedly avoided her, muttering curses under his breath, which were clearly not pleasant words.

She went to a common paper and candle shop to buy incense and candles. Qin Su waited for a while, and only went over after the person came out.

As we passed each other, I "accidentally" bumped into someone: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, let me help you pick it up..."

She apologized hastily, but the woman frowned and said in a low voice, "No need, I..."

She didn't finish her sentence, just stood there, letting the girl reach out and pick it up for her, putting it in the basket.

Qin Su stood up and affectionately helped the person up: "You must be tired too, let's go sit over there."

Xie Cisheng watched from a distance. He knew that Song had a bad temper and was difficult to talk to.

He was prepared to go and help Sangsang immediately if she ever got into trouble.

Surprisingly, Song seemed to like Sangsang very much. After the two bumped into each other, she did not get angry and chase her away as before, but followed her to the shade of the roadside trees.

Xie Cisheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the carriage curtain.
-
"Your hands are so soft and nimble, your embroidery skills must be excellent!" The woman's voice was gentle yet seemingly magical, every word irresistible.
Tell me, when were you happiest?

Under her patient and persuasive guidance, Song indeed gave many pleasant surprises.

"Take care of the young prince? Which prince? The crown prince?"

Finally, they arrived at the key point, and Qin Su's tone became even gentler: "So, what kind of person is the young crown prince?"
